team
After completing my bachelor's degree in psychology, I wanted a different challenge where I could apply my theoretical knowledge in a real time setting. For me, Hydriven is the perfect way to learn a lot about leading a large team, but also to apply my knowledge of internal communication. That's why this year I'm trying to optimize cooperation within the team so that together we can get the most out of our year.

Hi, I'm Annabel Groskamp! I just completed my second year in Fashion and Textile Technologies, following a passion for textiles that's been with me since I was a little girl. What really drives me is the material side of fashion. I'm fascinated by the technical applications of textiles and love diving deep into how they work. This year, I'm challenging myself in a new way: I've taken on the role of Marketing and Communication Manager at HyDriven Twente. It's an exciting opportunity to explore the technical industry from a different angle and expand my skills beyond textiles.

I work at Hydriven as an intern to further develop my skills as a media designer for my school! After my studies, I’m not entirely sure what I want to do yet, but I’m aiming for further studies with animation as the main focus! At Hydriven, I’m very motivated to collaborate with colleagues around my own age and come up with the best ideas to spark interest from people who don’t know about us yet! This is also one of the most fun things I get to do here!
